Major Renovation of Vinohrady Theatre Moves Forward

The Divadlo na Vinohradech is one step closer to its much-anticipated renovation.

The Prague City Council approved a public tender for securing construction supervision during the restoration of this historic theater, which will include a comprehensive modernization of its stage technology.

The tender for the actual construction work was announced earlier this summer, and work is expected to begin in the first quarter of next year.

“The approval of the renovation project marks a significant step in ensuring its future and preserving its legacy. In the long run, this is also a vital move in supporting Prague’s cultural scene. I firmly believe that this investment will elevate the city’s cultural offerings and attract new visitors,” said Jiří Pospíšil, Prague’s Deputy Mayor.

The estimated value of the public contract for construction supervision is CZK 45 million (excluding VAT). As for the construction itself, the expected cost of the renovation is CZK 2.212 billion (excluding VAT).

The renovation plans include expanding the underground area behind the theater to include a rehearsal hall, which will also serve as a smaller venue with a capacity of 150 to 200 seats.

Once the renovation is complete, the theater will offer increased comfort for audiences, a fully functional intimate stage, and enhanced safety measures.

The project is aligned with the Cultural Policy of the City of Prague 22+ strategy.

Divadlo na Vinohradech, which was built in 1907, has not undergone any major renovations since its construction.
